The kids had the chance to create their own miniature replicas of the solar system with play-dough and water colors during Enviro Camp at the Environmental Discovery Center on July 17. Photo by Jarleene Almenas.

Kids blast off into space with DIY slime at this week's Enviro Camp session.

The kids, all aged between 7-10, participated in three different astronomy-themed stations. In the first, they were able to craft and paint all the planets in our solar system. The second station helped them DIY their own galaxy slime, complete with purple food coloring and glitter. In the third station, the kids measured the distance to scale between planets and the sun in the lawns of the Environmental Discovery Center.

Enviro Camp will hold two more week-long camps in their second session ending Aug 4.
